    She ate! And now she's... Basking??

    Our ball python, ate for the first time with us last night.
    We knew the time was right as she was hiding all day, but poking her head out of her hide at night. It took a few tries to get it to a good temperature but she willingly took a mouse the width of her body. I'm stoked as she is only 78g so I'm happy she can eat.

    My question is this! After eating she didn't go back into any of her hides. (She has 4 at varying temps.) She's curled up in the hottest place in the Viv - on top of a hide where the temperature is roughly 33c (It's about 30 on the hot side on the ground), and is all curled up. She doesn't seem stressed, she isn't roaming or trying to escape. Just in a 'resting' pose. Could it be she's trying to aid digestion?

    Pic included, she was a little confused about the camera. I don't want to stress her after eating so I don't want to move or change anything unless necessary.

    Nb: The hide she's on looks too big for her but inside it's stuffed with leaf litter and stuff to brush up on.
